Dog stands at attention guarding bike – now watch when his owner comes back

We all know that dogs are loyal and affectionate, but this doggie really goes above and beyond.

In April 2012, passersby on a street in southwestern China noticed something a little unusual. A golden retriever was sitting like a statue on the sidewalk. He had his paws up on a parked bicycle, and was guarding it so that nobody would steal it.

Soon enough, his master returned—and the dog’s next move had everyone laughing out loud. Check out the adorable clip below!
